The idiocracy continues with the GOP trying to take over minor political offices, and beginning with school boards. This activity is meant to return previous guy and his cronies back to public office.
Conservatives hate public schools. Race-mixing is also class-mixing. The poor can have their own schools as long as those with cooties don’t infect “my” kids. Those same racists want vouchers so that “my” kids can have my preferred religious instruction and not have to deal with nonbelievers’ kids. What better proof that public schools are unsafe than poor security, mask-wearing, and Democrats on “my” school board. And then there those “liberal textbooks” and whatever Critical Race Theory is, because it must be the same as Black Lives Matter even if there’s absolutely no evidence.
Because Steve Bannon wants to “deconstruct the administrative state”.
When the insurrection failed, Bannon continued his campaign for his former boss by other means. On his “War Room” podcast, which has tens of millions of downloads, Bannon said President Trump lost because the Republican Party sold him out. “This is your call to action,” Bannon said in February, a few weeks after Trump had pardoned him of federal fraud charges.
The solution, Bannon announced, was to seize control of the GOP from the bottom up. Listeners should flood into the lowest rung of the party structure: the precincts. “It’s going to be a fight, but this is a fight that must be won, we don’t have an option,” Bannon said on his show in May. “We’re going to take this back village by village … precinct by precinct.”

2. I posted, on twitter, many times, exactly what they were about to do at school board meetings in August. I told you who was behind it. Just as I did from Dec 19-Jan 5 every single day about Jan 6.
3. Yes, some are just agitators or actors or people who like attention.
But the vast majority are actually local residents and parents who have been brainwashed and radicalized. Don’t make the same mistake we made before Jan 6.
4. Local govt officials are under siege. We have to do something to help them by bringing attention to this problem.
5. While the pithy, snarky, “these are all just a handful of traveling actors” comments may seem like a good way to act like this isn’t a problem, is does a great disservice to local govt officials having to deal with their radicalized community members.
6. What is the goal? Thousands of mini insurrections on easier targets. They want to threaten, intimidate and harass county, city and local officials to get them to quit. Then replace them with MAGA crazies. There is no plan for a 2nd insurrection in DC. This is their plan.
7. Which local offices do they covet the most? Supervisors of Elections and Sects of State. The people who saved the country by refusing to go along with the Big Lie. The gatekeepers of election integrity. And they are counting on the Democratic Party to be focused elsewhere.
